Moscow Bar Show is to return for a second year from 25-27 September 2012.

The 2011 show saw 85 exhibitors and around 6,000 trade visitors.

Jeff ‘Beachbum’ Berry, Nightjar’s Marian Beke and Mixelany’s Jared Brown & Anistatia Miller are signed up to present masterclasses at the 2012 show and more names are expected to be announced.
